Smug and out of touch

I find their perspective on the economy to be a total disaster. The smugness of a recent episode encapsulated it perfectly, essentially: “Working class and rural people don’t understand the facts, the economy is great,” and “Inflation is totally under control now,” as if working people have amnesia about the prices of everyday goods that we so intimately pay attention to out of necessity.
